Thanks for this great how to

Is this also working with MariaDB instead of PostgreSQL ?

I would like to install it at my debian server with nginx php7.3 & MariaDB, Lets Enrcypt SSL

 

Is there anything additional to do, that it works with ISPConfig ?(nginx vhosts maybe or php settings, .... )

As well also with the typical document root of ispconfig -> /var/www/clients/client0/web1 for example

 

Thanks in advance 

Regards,

Mat

Why such a long way, with so so many commands and their outputs to install discourse, when on some other places, its just a process of 10 minutes with just 5 or 6 commands in total?

There is no use of any ruby, postgre or anything else. Just install docker image and discourse image. That's all.
